Genetic Maps

Genetic Maps give us key information for decision-making

Genetic maps are the best tool when it comes to getting the most out of your genetic information, but knowing which genetic map to get is not always easy. In this article, we will try to orient you to choose the one most suitable for you. Depending on your budget and your information needs, you have several options.

If cost is not an issue, the best option is to acquire the complete genome sequence, containing some 3 billion genetic markers, of which the scientific community today understands approximately 3%. This knowledge will gradually expand until we ultimately fully understand the functioning of the human body (it will take time...).

If you do not want to spend as much, the next level would be the Exome, which is approximately 1.5% of the human genome (40 million markers), and where 85% of relevant scientific discoveries are made. You may also want to choose the Exome if you are looking for complex mutations that do not appear in our 24Genetics Health DNA Test Panel.

Our 24Genetics Health DNA Test Panel is, without a doubt, the best value for your money. We analyse 700,000 genetic markers covering the most important findings by the scientific community, and many of those that are now being researched, to be backed by scientific evidence in the coming months or years.
